Objective To evaluate the validity and reliability of Chinese version of Parent Behavior Inventory (PBI) among parents of preschool children. Methods PBI was translated and administered with Family Environment Scale-Chinese Version (FES-CV) in the investigation of parents of 148 preschool children in Shanghai.Validities and reliabilities of PBI were evaluated using standard psychometric analyses.Results Each item of Chinese version of PBI was significantly correlated with the subscale it belongs to (P<0.01).The supportive/engaged subscale of PBI was correlated with the cohesion,expressiveness,intellectual-cultural orientation,active-recreational orientation,organization,and control dimensions of FES-CV,while the hostile/coercive subscale of PBI was correlated with the conflict dimension of FES-CV.The construct validity was also confirmed by factor analysis with 55.698% variance explained by two factors.Cronbach's alpha coefficients of PBI and its subscales of supportive/engaged and hostile/coercive were 0.672,0.807 and 0.652 respectively.The test-retest reliability coefficients of supportive/engaged subscale and hostile/coercive subscale were 0.964 (P<0.01) and 0.986 (P<0.01). 【Conclusions】 Chinese version of PBI has acceptable validities and reliabilities in the parents of preschool children in Shanghai,and some items may need to be revised according to the Chinese culture so as to be applied in further related studies.
